    Just listening to Garry Birtles on Garibaldi Red.

    Garry likes an "and rightly so" at the end of a sentence, but I've never heard him use an "and wrongly so" before.

    And rightly so.

    I have a football friend who likes a "to be fair". He's a copper, so maybe a good one, if fairness is always on his mind?

    It's significantly better than "rightfully so" when "rightly so" would be correct, and vice versa.
